RED Bull driver Mark Webber has brushed aside concerns teammate and Formula One champion Sebastian Vettel could be stripped of his title.

Ferrari is considering an appeal against an over-taking manoeuvre by Vettel during last Sunday's Brazilian Grand Prix, where the German finished sixth to clinch his third straight title, UK media have reported.

YouTube footage reportedly shows Vettel passing Toro Rosso's Jean-Eric Vergne under yellow flags in the early laps of the race at Interlagos.

Webber only heard the reports shortly before fronting media near Ben Lomond in northern Tasmania, where he has headed via the UK for his annual charity wilderness race.
